THE JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY After completing the course in the Naval Academy (the Grade Schools), we, the luniors of today, were sent aboard the ocean liner, A High School Education’, as Freshmen. It took us several days to get acquainted with the ship. During the first weeks we were treated very harshly by the old crew (the upper-classmen) who delighted in trying to help us lose ourselves on the ship. The first hit of rough sailing we had was the intelligence test. Most ol us survived this only to run into more rough seas, (the first quarter examinations). After we reached quiet water once again, the Sophomores entertained us one evening with a very splendid party. We had no more trouble in completing our first year’s work because we knew that the rest of the crew was with us. When, the next June, Mr. Zook told us that we might return home for a rest, we were hardly able to make the ship travel fast enough to satisfy us. The next fall we returned to the ship to find new members (the Freshmen) added to the crew. We greatly enjoyed causing these new members to make mistakes. We were not always so jolly, however, for there were more intelligence tests and examinations to be taken. As Sophomores we exceeded all former records. Since we were now upper-classmen, we gave the Freshmen a partv which they returned later in the year by inviting us to attend the Olympic Games. At times during the winter we were icebound, but we always managed to work our way out. By the next June we were tired, worn, and ready foi the summer’s rest. Last fall we returned to our ship, ranking as Juniors. The first great thing we did was to win the intramural football tournament. We are living up to, and exceeding, all former records. “Onward” is our cry, and we hope, by the end of another year, to have perfected our High School Education, and to graduate as the most intelligent class that ever attended the Nokomis Township High School. 1 S —LaBoR.
